Day 9: System Maintenance and Update Activities

After revising the draft again, several improvements were made, including additional tables and pages to ensure the scheduling system functions effectively and supports the unit in streamlining their tasks. New process flows were introduced, along with further enhancements identified throughout the development process. At this stage, I will continue focusing on the development of the audit work scheduling system and have selected it as my main project. Once completed, I plan to proceed with the development of an audit trail system.

Due to the Hari Raya celebration tomorrow, I also assisted in preparing decorations and setting up the photobooth for the event together with the IT department. This experience helped strengthen our bond while also giving me the opportunity to observe how a statutory government body manages event preparation, including task division and workflow coordination.

This experience allowed me to improve both my technical and soft skills. From the system development process, I learned the importance of continuously reviewing and enhancing a system to ensure it functions effectively and meets user needs. It also helped me understand how proper planning and structured workflows contribute to a more efficient system. In addition, my involvement in the Hari Raya event preparation helped me develop teamwork and communication skills, as I worked closely with members from the IT department. I also gained insight into how tasks are organized and executed in a real working environment. Overall, this day enhanced my ability to balance technical responsibilities with collaborative activities in the workplace.

First Day of Internship!

I started my first day of internship by reporting for duty at the MAIDAM office at 8:00 a.m. I was required to fill in the Act 88 form (Official Secrets Act, Appendix E). Then, I was assigned to my department, the Internal Audit Unit, where I had a brief introduction session with all the unit members, including the Information Technology team, who share the same office space. In the Internal Audit Unit, there are four members consisting of a Head of Internal Audit, a Senior Assistant, and two Assistants. After that, I began familiarizing myself with the scope of work and audit procedures in the department by reading the Internal Audit Manual, Treasury Instructions, flowcharts, and audit procedure manuals. I was also assisted in downloading the attendance application for clock-in and clock-out purposes and was given an access card. In addition, I was given a small task to suggest improvements that could enhance the overall efficiency of the workflow, as well as to provide any genera...

Day 7 of My Internship

Today went as usual as I continued working on my report and adding features to the system. The system is functional, but not completely good yet, as there are still many improvements that can be made to make it more convenient, efficient, and distinct from the usual systems used. Furthermore, I also had the opportunity to attend a Raya celebration at Yayasan Pendidikan Maidam at their office. It was a great experience as I got to meet and get to know various officers from different departments while enjoying our time together. In addition, I had the chance to consult with an assistant from the Internal Audit Unit about another type of system. He explained a system they have proposed to the Information Technology department and discussed whether it could be developed through in-sourcing. The system is related to maintaining an audit trail when they are questioning their clients. I have taken this into consideration and compared the feasibility of both systems to decide which system I s...

Day 4 as an Intern

I started my fourth day by reviewing my draft project and continuing to work on it. The Senior Assistant explained to me the use of Treasury regulations and circulars in auditing files for various departments in the government statutory sector. Today, I focused on reading and studying contract-related documents, including Treasury Act 169D, Government Procurement 2.10 (Direct Purchase for Supplies and Services), Government Procurement 2.11 (Direct Appointment and Requisition Works), and Government Procurement 4.2 (Letter of Acceptance, Government Orders, and Government Indent for Procurement). Specific exposure was given to me, as these matters will be discussed in a meeting scheduled for next week, and I can take this as a real-life example for future reference. I have also been informed that there will be an upcoming audit on wakaf, where I will be able to experience the actual audit process.  The Head of Unit also mentioned about about the sampling process, and I decided to revi...
